Frankly you can’t buy your way into it,” Cuomo said. “You can’t shuck and jive at a press conference,” he added. “All those moves you can make with the press don’t work when you’re in someone’s living room.”<BR/></I><BR/><BR/>Are you going to tell me THAT isn't racial?<BR/><BR/>SHUCK AND JIVE?<BR/><BR/>How come it seems as if, we repeatedly get these statements coming from the Clintons, and/or their surrogates, and then we're either given a phony apology, or we're told we 'misinterpreted' it.<BR/><BR/>English is the PRIMARY language of the Black community. We understand it when we hear it, and don't need anyone else to interpret it for us.<BR/><BR/>But, oh yeah, we're ' imagining' it.<BR/><BR/>Here's the ' Update' from Politico.com<BR/><BR/><I>UPDATE: Though the report I link refers specifically to New Hampshire, Cuomo called to play the tape of the interview, in which he says nice things about Obama, and in which the quote above is describing both Iowa and New Hampshire -- meaning it's not a direct reference to Clinton's primary victory, or attempt to explain it.<BR/><BR/>"Barack Obama is a beautiful symbol. He's a powerful speaker. He's a charismatic figure. And what he has to say is important for the Democrats," Cuomo says in the interview, with the New York Post's Fred Dicker.<BR/><BR/>"It was never about Obama in the first place," Cuomo told me of the use of the phrase, which he said he was using "as a synonym for 'bob and weave.'"</I><BR/><BR/><BR/>Once again, the ' explanation'.....yes, I can see how ' bob and weave' can evolve into SHUCK AND JIVE. <BR/><BR/>As for the 'nice things'....am I imagining things, or did Bob Kerrey say ' nice things' as HE delivered the smear too? <BR/><BR/>I'll keep on repeating this:<BR/><BR/>When 'Isolated Incidents' cease being ISOLATED & INCIDENTAL<BR/><BR/>They form a PATTERN.<BR/><BR/>Accept what the PATTERN tells you.rikyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10982657053583534299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-13797887659314759542008-01-10T00:59:00.000-06:002008-01-10T00:59:00.000-06:00When you write about the work you are doing with y...When you write about the work you are doing with your students and how well they are learning it is like a breath of fresh air.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.Maya's Grannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12183715043200608144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-24175625166302463242008-01-09T19:39:00.000-06:002008-01-09T19:39:00.000-06:00I go to other blogs, and they just piss me off.

So she asked him about it. I want someone--anyone!--to end the Iraq debacle, so I <A HREF="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/chi-questions_tankersleydec23,1,4832924.story" REL="nofollow">asked Dodd to filibuster the war funding</A>. <BR/><BR/>Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, et al. can jump in the Raccoon River, as far as I am concerned.<BR/><BR/>Of course, there are lots of reasons why working mothers wouldn't be able travel from St. Louis to Iowa for a weekend of birddogging candidates. But we're all smart and resourceful, and we have at least four years--oh, please let it be more--to make it happen.CRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-50513870154342684692008-01-09T14:45:00.000-06:002008-01-09T14:45:00.000-06:00Hey ABB!

Not because I want her to win, but because I too don't think it would be right for two small states to make the call (to the press) for the rest of us. If Obama had won, he'd be the only one getting press coverage for the rest of the primary, even though only very few delegates would have actually been decided. And that would be a travesty. Now, maybe Edwards will win South Carolina, and Richardson Nevada... Wouldn't THAT be something! :-)catnmusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-754638881384411902008-01-09T13:07:00.000-06:002008-01-09T13:07:00.000-06:00One of the stories on Yahoo today said, "Edwards s...One of the stories on Yahoo today said, "Edwards still in race after loss in NH", and I thought, Hell yes!
